POV: ElenaThe silence in the car felt so loud.Mike still hadn’t started driving. The street lights kept shining on his face, I couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind. But the way he was looking at me felt the same way it did in the elevator, like he wanted something and was pissed at himself for that.My heart was beating too fast. I told myself to look away, but I didn’t. My thoughts kept overwhelming me, ‘Just get out of the car. Say goodnight and stop making this worse.’ He shifted a little closer to me. Not enough to touch me, but close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off him. His eyes dropped to my mouth. My heart started beating even faster.We both almost leaned in. At the last second we both moved back like we’d been burned. The air went tight and awkward. Mike turned to the windshield and finally started the car. Neither of us said anything during the drive. The silence felt loud, my hands were clenched so hard in my lap that my nails dug into my palms.I ke

POV: ElenaI stared at Sophia’s message until the words blurred. Wedding dress fitting tomorrow, and she wants no excuses. I put the phone down and sat there in the dark for a long time.

POV: ElenaI let out a short, ugly laugh. “So make me understand this, Mr. Mike Laurent. All this time, you've been engaged to my sister, while you were out here busy trying to kiss me?”“Elena…”“No, Mike. You will listen to me. You had no right to do this to me or my sister, she doesn't deserve all this”.He stepped closer and held my shoulders, “ Tell me you don't love me Elena. Look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing “.We stood there staring at each other. The office felt too small. All the intense moments from the past weeks were suddenly right there under the surface, mixed with something uglier.Mike dragged a hand through his hair. “Stop acting like I planned this okay!?.”“I’m acting like you kept working with me after you found out. Like you still looked at me the same way.” My voice rose. “You’re engaged to my sister, Mike. And you’ve been looking at me like you want to kiss me since the night we met.”His eyes flashed. “You think I don’t know that? You think this
